Im not a religious person but I freaked out when I heard about the bombings in London, my parents were in England for vacation and I picked them up today from Toronto; apparently their plane left before or during the bombings. I however am an idiot, they were in NewCastle which is like an 8 hour drive to London. Anyways, my thoughts are with those in London as well.

I have been trying to compose my thoughts since I heard of these cowardly acts. I've had no success. I am deeply moved, and full of so many emotions that I honestly am at a loss for words. I am not religious, so I hope that those who are will not be offended if I say "may God Bless England and the English people." My affection, respect, and admiration for them all is profound.

Not offended Ajax, just suprised that someone that is not religious is still asking for God's blessing. Or are you just not religious in the sense that you don't go to church, not that you don't believe in God? (sorry in advance if this touches of a religious debate, that is not my intention)

1. There is no negotiating with people who behead innocent civilians with a dull blade.

2. There is no negotiating with people who will shoot small children because they are infidels.

3. There is no negotiating with people who want one thing from us: Our deaths. These terrorists have no interest in peace. They have no interest in "getting along". They don't care if you are black, white, gay or straight. They don't care if you voted for Kerry or Bush.

They want you to die. They want me to die. They want our children to die.

The only way to stop them is to kill the terrorists before they can kill us.
